Several factors will affect the cost and availability of life insurance, including age, health and the type and amount of insurance purchased. Life insurance policies have expenses, including mortality and other charges. Any guarantees associated with a policy are dependent on the ability of the issuing insurance company to continue making claim payments. You should consider determining whether you are insurable before implementing a strategy involving life insurance.
